		Our content should be the same. Short, and linking to reputable sources for in-depth discussions of technical concepts. People aren't robots. We grow, learn, and make mistakes. Because of this, we seek to be forgiving and encouraging.

	<p>
		Our content is tested and vetted. We serve as a living example of how to make an accessible and inclusive digital experience.
	</p>
	<p>
		Technology best practices move quickly. Information about accessibility is scattered across many sources. Some of these sources contain innacuracies, or are out of date. <a href="{{ '/resources/' | url }}">We showcase tried-and-true resources</a> for everyone to benefit from.
